RlNGftlS THE fiS.
A Plan That One Breeder Finds Eaay
' and Convenient. -
Having deejUfetl tSat It is best to
ting,, we pX'sed to contrive a tvay
to ring 'easily. ITct bavins a coa
, veniest -waj to rinj caucos tlifc -nor!!
to lie. neglieJ, Via resrJt is tiiar
.'a great deal of d3a.ige is djne. As
Once ringing in life will not answer, it
Is necessary to arrange a wsy tliat vrVl
always be ready and handy. The
hog's nose grovrs cut as Co cur 3nger
nalis, so rings so!do-J3 siiy t more
than a year, and r.suallj three iu:gings
a year are necessary.
For pigs that can be held nothing is
necessary unless it be a pair of ton;s,
which makes the work much easier.
Don't throw the pig and have two men
get on him with their knees. This is a
hard way on the pig; it is more tire
sonie to the man and is a slow way.
Bet the pig up, hold the snout with the
tongs and sock in the rings. For big
hogs we have tried a great many ways.
We used to gather in the neighbors to
hold what we were afraid to tackle.
We have tried other ways, among
them the stanchion. This is a very
good way, but the plan that we find
most convenient and like best Is to use
a plain crate. Ours is about five and
a half feet long, three and a half high
and Just wide enough for a grown
hog. It has neither top nor bottom.
One end is left open at the bottom for
entrance. The hog Is run In, a board
put behind and one above him to keep
him in. For a holder the quickest one
I have tried, and which is sufficient in
case of ringing, is a trunk rope. Make
a noose is one end by means of a
small harness ring or link. This rope
is easily got into the hog's mouth.
Two men can do the work.
Rings should be Inserted vertically in
the center of the snout. It is not neces
sary to fill the snout with rings. A
hog can root with rings In the side of
his nose if there Is none In the middle.
I always use the fishhook rings when
I can get them, as they give better re
sults and stay in longer. I have never
known any ill effects to come from
ringing, but, on the contrary, have
known it to be n 'benefit to pigs. E.
J. Keed in Coleman's Rural.
Selecting the Brood Sows.
The man who iu selecting his brood
sows always picks for the smoothest
and chubbiest of the lot Is most sure
ly reducing the fecundity of his herd,
says a writer in Kimball's Dairy
Farmer. The character of early fat
tening and quick maturity seems to be
In a measure opposed to great pro
lificacy, and if we constantly select
with that one character only In view
we may develop a very refined, quick'
maturing type, but in doing it have so
reduced the powers of reproduction
as to make the product unprofitable.
In order to overcome this tendency
great care should be exercised In the
selection of the brood sows for the
year following. Go carefully over the
old sows and discard those which have
produced the small litters, the ones
which have been such poor suuklers
as to be unable to raise a good litter of
pigs, the cross, nervous sows, which
are always getting excited and killing
their pigs.
THE SHEPHERD.
It is not hard to fatten sheep, but
fattening is not fitting as the term Is
understood by twentieth century ex
hibitors. Give the breeding ewes wheat bran.
It will make the lambs strong.
If the sheep have been on a dry,
short pasture care should be taken not
to turn them on a new pasture, when it
is wet. There Is danger that the sheep
will get hovou or bloat.
Stick to the ram that Is impressive
and doing good service. Such are not
to be picked up every day. We read
of rams in England that have done
eight years' satisfactory service.
When a lamb Is sixty days old it
will begin to stretch out and look lean
unless it is fed all it will take of suita
ble food.
Sheep have very delicate stomachs
and so have lambs. An excess of food
at one time will always disagree with
them.
The young exhibitor should not build
castles in the air, but should work
hard, try and find out his weaknesses
and be content with reasonable success
for a time at least
Do not try to keep too many sheep In
one pasture. They will gnaw the
grass roots.
Have some way of marking your
sheep, especially if there are other
sheep In pastures that Join yours.
Don't make a poultry house out of
the sheep barn.
The best way to keep your flock :iif
Is to add new blood to It once In awhile
by buying stock from some progressiva
neighbor's farm.
Some sheep have much more vigor
when old than others, but It is never
safe to buy a sheep that is more than
six years old. You can't teH how soon
It may fall and make yon lose what
you paid for It
A pound or quart of oats and com j
fed dally to sheep will be found a good
ration where hay Is scarce or poor in
quality.
Another good ration can be found In
feeding plenty of clover hay with about
two gills of corn per head daily.
Corn should always be carefully fed
to sheep, as it Is liable to cause them
to be feverish.
A good way to get Into sheep cheap
ly is to take a small flock on shares of
a neighbor who has more than he can
(well pasture, says the Farm Journal.
They will soon double up and bring
you a good flock without paying oat
much if any money.

There are few hotels in smaller Oregon

Postmaster Johnson wishes to an

Hike Hubler's team, attached to a
wood wagon, ran away in Job's addition
yesterday forenoon. Mr. Hubler was
just ready to start to the timber and had
some sacks of feed on the wagon, togeth

for his own dinner. These and the feed
were scattered along the road for some
distance-but the horses were stopped be
fore any damage resulted.
THE SWINEHERD.
The sow that eats her pigs is im
properly fed. Such appetites are al
ways unnatural.
Turn out the breeding sows and pigs,
but remember that when sows with
older pigs are turned with younger
ones the big ones will rob the little fel
lows. Don't keep your little pigs shut up.
They will thrive much better if you
fence oft" a nice clover field for them.
Give them liberty and plenty of milk.
It will not pay to keep the breeding
stock with the market hogs. They
need different care.
You need not concern yourself about
warm quarters at present What the
hogs need now Is shade.
It is the sow that is five or sir years
old that makes the best mother. Those
that are too young are not the best
ones. '
When two Utters a year are raised
wean the pigs when they are from six
to eight weeks old. When only one
Utter is raised .they may remain with
the sow a little longer, but should nev
er be allowed to pull her down too
much in flesh. i
Pigs like and need green feed. If
they have no pasture you will have to
cut soiling crops for them.
, Barley Is said to be valuable as pig
feed, but It's not as good as corn.
Be sure to cut while green, some
clover hay for the hogs to eat during
the winter.
If yon cannot have the hogs under
trees, put up some kind of a board
shelter from the heat of the sun. The
porkers will thank yon by stretching
out bigger and bigger every day.
Clean food and clean drink are abso
lutely necessary if yon would have
healthy hogs.
Good care will do much to prevent
disease. Remember that prevention is
always easier and safer than enre.
The successful hog man has many
little things to look out for. Disease
always begins In a small way.
Sows should be weeded out as well
as cows. Keep only gool milker.

their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid

and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over

he, assuming them to be such, prescribes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
